Budget Update Questions/Comments   Thank you

Performance Contract Contracts should focus on: Outcomes for consumers Collaborate with community Assess performance to improve performance Measurable Outcomes Effective Use of Existing Data Beginning in 1993, SB 1383 required DDS to enter in to 5 year outcome based contracts with Regional Centers. Like an IPP for the agency.

Performance Contract Public Policy Outcomes Regulatory Compliance Outcomes Local Outcomes Two main areas: Public Policy- what does the law say? And Regulatory compliance- are we abiding by the rules set forth? There is also the abitliy to add local developed outcomes. We will talk about that more when we review the draft.

Performance Contract Report “Report Card” on the agency Basic Overview of our status over time and in comparison to other Regional Centers So basically, we are always looking back and looking forward in performance contract work. Let’s start with a review of the most recent PC report. PC 2017. Because the year 2017 is over, we are able to look at how we performed.

Semi Annual Performance Contract 2018 Data Current Status Based on data drawn from database at state level Highlights Run our own internal data as well Next let’s look at the “here and now” We are in the middle of 2015, so we can peek at current data to see how we are doing.

Employment Update Employment activities at ELARC are focused on the following five (5) career/employment development pathways as outlined in the California Blueprint for Competitive and Integrated Employment as follows (please refer to following graph): Transition Services; Adult Pathways to Employment; Post-Secondary Education Activities; Supported Employment Services, Customized Employment, and Other Employment Support Options; Employer/Industry engagement.

Local Partnership Agreements (LPAs) LPA’s aim to develop strategies for each of the following: Outreach to underserved communities; Coordination of referral processes; Inclusion of community partners; Integration of corresponding person-centered plans; Communication between partners; Leveraging of resources; Coordinated and well-sequenced services

POS Disparity Project Update 2016-2017 2017-2018 Time and Entry into Regional Center Support to people entering and new to the ELARC community to understand the basics about Regional Centers and services and to identify community supports Outreach Locate people who may not be aware of or understand how to apply for Regional Center Services Materials and Information Provide ways to help people understand and navigate our agency and how we work Ongoing Service Coordination Ongoing support to help those already served by ELARC to understand and access supports and services Enhanced Caseloads Parent Training CBO’s

Reduced Caseloads and Targeted Supports 200 Cases 5 Enhanced Service Coordinators with a 1:40 caseload ratio 4 Enhance Service Coordinators are working with monolingual Spanish Speaking Individuals and Families 1 Enhanced Service Coordinator is working with Monolingual Cantonese/Mandarin Speaking Individuals and families Caseload breakdown is concurrent with ELARC’s demographics So now, let’s consider 2016 I want to highlight two locally developed outcomes: Employment and Purchase of Service Data.

Draft PC 2019 Based on the “Report Card” and mid year data, consider the activity plans for next year: Sufficient to meet the outcome? Any other approaches to these areas that have not been considered? Resources: Time, manpower, etc So now, let’s consider 2016 I want to highlight two locally developed outcomes: Employment and Purchase of Service Data.
